Gloucestershire Sands are here to offer help and support when a baby dies before during or shortly after birth.

We are here to offer a listening ear and comfort at such a devastating time. We have found that often just having someone to talk to who has shared a similar experience can help bereaved parents feel less isolated and deal with the confusing emotions they typically experience.

We are working closely with Gloucestershire Royal and Cheltenham General hospitals in order to provide immediate support for families who have been devastated by the death of a baby.

As bereaved parents ourselves, we offer support face to face at monthly group meetings. Our meetings are informal, friendly and relaxed. They will give you the opportunity to discuss your
feelings and find peer support.

You are very welcome to come along whenever it feels right for you or perhaps you may wish to talk confidentially to one of the befrienders on the phone about your loss.

Gloucestershire Sands is one of 90 local support groups linked nationally to Sands. Our group aims to offer support and friendship to all parents whose baby has died.
